City Kids

I feel sorry for the kids in my neighborhood who have to have their birthday parties in Prospect Park. City kids like these don't have their own backyard to use for birthday parties or family barbecues because they often live in apartment buildings where green space isn't accessible. So they and their families have to schlep to the public park and party there. Because I grew up in a house with a yard, I just think it's sad that many kids in New York won't have the opportunity to grow up in a single detached home. But you do the best you can with what you have, right?
